Lyrics:
I am home
Lost my job
And incurably ill
You think this is easy, realism
I've got a girl out there, I suppose
I think she's dancing
Feel like Dan Dare lies down
I think she's dancing, what do I know?
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around, no, can't turn around, no, oh ooh
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around, no, turn around no, oh no
I am a D.J., I am what I play
I've got believers (kiss-kiss)
Believing me
One more weekend
Of lights and evening faces
Fast food, living nostalgia
Humble pie or bitter fruit
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around, no, can't turn around, no, oh oooh
I am a D.J., I am what I say
Can't turn around, no, turn around, ooh
I am a D.J., I am what I play
I've got believers (kiss-kiss)
Believing me
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around, no, can't turn around
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around, no, can't turn around
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around no (kiss-kiss)
Time flies when you're having fun
Break his heart, break her heart
He used to be my boss and now he is a puppet dancer
I am a D.J., and I've got believers
I've got believers, I've got believers
I've got believers in me (I've got believers)
I am a D.J., I am what I play, I am a D.J
About David Bowie:
David Bowie redefined musical genres and the potential of live performance for generations of music lovers. Creating and discarding a variety of personae and restlessly challenging musical boundaries, Bowie released timeless albums including Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, "Heroes,” Let's Dance, Heathen, The Next Day and many more. Blackstar, Bowie’s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar. His body of work, his influence on the worlds of music, art, fashion, film, theatre and beyond, and his legacy of innovation and reinvention will live forever. 2022 kicks off with Bowie at 75, a celebration of his 75th birthday with the Brilliant Adventure box set, the previously unreleased Toy, the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust and a series of special events.

David really said, "I'm going to wear this peach-pink pleated boiler suit and make it look cool as fuck."
And he did. That rascal.
omg i was wondering what he was wearing for ages! I want one too! 😭
I'm looking for one now!!!
@@couplakooks TRUE! 😂💦👍❤️
DAMN RIGHT ! and that's what you do,,when ppl say no, that's not gonna work, You Wuuuurk It !
Bowie was ahead of his time...this was 1979 but it could have been 1989. He was and will always be a musical genius, not to ever be replaced.
1989, he was on hiatus from his solo career. Have you heard of Tin Machine?
@Mike Girard It's just a meme, dude, chill
Also not forgetting,he was a massive influence on 'New Wave' in the first place!
@@Mayersam then why are you here, watching a david bowie music video
You’re so right. I get chills.
Top 5 Singers of All Time:
1. David Bowie
2. Ziggy Stardust
3. Major Tom
4. The Thin White Duke
5. Aladdin Sane
where's jareth, the boglin king and screamin' lord byron?
@@thevoid99 The rest of the list.
and Halloween Jack as well...
Where's Halloween Jack?
Facts.
One of the best parts of this video is David walking around the streets and people swarming around him laughing, kissing him, following him, dancing......and he is loving it, as they are too!! One of his best songs!! Miss you 💔
he's just like all of us except cooler and more attractive he gets all of dudes and chicks because he's david bowie.
I love how he kisses the guy without hesitation, but when the girl starts kissing him he's like "what tf are you doing?" 😂
My absolute favorite is the random woman with the glasses and sweater that he just sweeps up in a little twirl and her face is all "What the hell!!??" xD So great.
he's sorely missed
Joy Campi No he pushes that last twat away. He had enough!
how cool would it bowie was just walking down the street, singing, and you could for a moment, hang out with him?
Very, very cool mate
My dad was really close to Bowie and I got to hang out with him quite often
Wish i and alot of people wish they had the chance to hang out with him!
like, a crazy dream come true
All you have to do is go back to New York with a time machine. Of course everyone thought the would be dead in five years. If you can do that, cure cancer next.
He's so fu*king cute in this video!🖤
*every video
@@ThinWhiteAxe I liked his looks, but I LOVED his looks in his DJ, Fashion, and Ashes to Ashes period. He's at his peak here. Oh, and this song is great too, he even croons here.
@@easybake8420 nice username. 😝 Totally. I dig Low and "Heroes" Bowie myself, this is pretty much a continuation of that era.
Yes
Yes
DJ = David Jones
mind blown
DJ= could also be his son, Duncan Jones (Just another theory that fits the letters.)
@@easybake8420 I think his name was Zowie in that period.
@@e.gundogan8656 I thought his name was, "The Thin White Duke".
@@easybake8420 No this video was made in 1979 and he was no longer the duke, that was 1976 and then he moved to Berlin with Iggy Pop and Brian Eno and the duke period ended. I'm talking about his son btw, Duncan's name was originally Zowie, later Duncan changed his name to Duncan and in that period I think Duncan was still Zowie so D.J. can't stand for Duncan Jones.
His body language and way of singing says it all ; this is the delightfully typical Bowie doing whatever he feels like,
like here ; gleefully abandoning himself to some serious silliness
I'm a bit sad but watching him has me smiling
David you Lovable rascal, you !
Bruh. He low key kinda eerily looked like a white version of my mom for a moment🤣
The _"DJ"_ video has become a snapshot time capsule of what Bowie meant to the world by the late 1970s. He was more than a celebrity - he was a beloved human being. An icon from stars who walked with us like family & danced with us in the street.
David Bowie era como un fenómeno de la naturaleza que te deja fascinado persona de personalidad y talento irrepetible . Este hombre atravesó el Rubicón de todo lo imaginable
@@maricarmensanchezjimenez4429beautifully put
“Break *his* heart,
Break *her* heart”
STRONG BISEXUAL ENERGY
mother of bugs uwu Plus him kissing guys and girls in the video! This whole song is so unapologetically bi I love it!
@Ed Norton "am I a boy? am I a girl? everyone likes me so they're all gay" but irl
I do not think the song was written to pay homage to bisexuality. Its subject is a faded DJ. The reference to breaking hearts is about the power the DJ has (or had) over his audience - the believers.
Suz You underrate his power..
Анна Forgive me if I gave you the impression that I do not understand the impact he has had. I am certainly not homophobic. I have adored his music since 1973.
IM HOME, LOST MY JOB *LAUGHS*
*scream internally*
And incurably ill! Wonderful
LOL *EPIC*
He’s so prescient as usual
*AND INCURABLY I'LL*
david bowie doing a talking heads impression is like the best thing on the history of music
Sure it wasn't the other way around? Lol.
@@Ladycraft-lk5tk tbh it's interesting cause Adrian Belew plays on this album, and he toured for a while with Talking Heads! So. Thy probably had some connection musically
@@Ladycraft-lk5tk In a biography of Talking Heads, it is said this song was an attempt by Bowie to sing like David Byrne
Co-writer Brian Eno was friends with David Byrne at the time.
Okay but like imagine being able to say "I kissed David Bowie"
Okay, but imagine being born mute and never being able to speak a word- knowing the moment you shared is exclusive to you, your lover, and any star in the night sky that bothered to take notice.
Too comforting? Fine- twist ending: you also contract aids. But I prefer the story without that detail.
That sounded so good at the start but i dont think David Bowie had aids
@@sittingonacornflake6980 True, and I also never snogged Bowie.
He kissed me I was 18 at the top of the state disco I was dancing and I looked over towards the elevator out came Bowie fully energetic he saw me beelined go me started dancing held my hand lead me back to the table of his entourage he sat me on his lap and started. Kissing me then I said David I have a girlfriend he replying cheekily and said she can come ect it’s tru and I will never forget that one moment in time
What about the guy @1:10 that touching his chest?
Lodger is a brilliant album
Agree. Very under-rated
I feel happy that some(fake)body wrote comment on David Bowie's DJ music video "What a hot lesbian" and I replied "with penis added it makes Asian"... though it were tried to be deleted as I added "from a korean province disdained below the bug even among all asians" part.
I wanna make clear that this dimension is fake-physicality and when things don't work out as beggar lord bitch wish, that female manipulates the past record wholly and pushes the feeling "do you remember?", the Dejavu bullshit.
Ikr I mean yasassin is so cool
@@user-bo6dk9rx6z I’m so sorry but I literally have no idea what you’re trying to say- I’m so sorry
I envy all that people who could hang around, walk with and kiss David in this video!
Loving how high David was throughout the 70s and 80s decades. Not always on drugs. On life itself.
And drugs
Underrated great song!
underrated album
@@allertonoff4 Indeed! I love lodger :)
I´m a believer
Believing in you!
Vc por aqui? rsrs
Se bem que faz sentido, ja que te conheci pelo video da relação do album novo do arctic monkeys e o bowie
Every .Single. Day.
Of the political madness caused by Trump..
I awake and think...
WWBD???
You are the NAZZ!!!
Ah, vc tá aqui !
(Meio atrasada comentando, mas tá ok)
Ala o epifania
Even when he's not dancing his movements have style, there's not one wasted move.
1979. I had to look it up, I never would have guessed from the video alone
One of his bravest moves was releasing this album. Definitely his most underrated. I remember talking to someone years ago about this being the most 'Anti-Bowie' record he'd made at the time. It's hard to elaborate, but this number comes to mind.
Well, Low is similar in the anti-Bowie sense. But lodger is a clean break from his first break, this time Berlin and Eno. It's uneven but when it's great it's spectacular. Helps to have Adrian Belew crazying shit up.
It’s my second favourite album after Aladdin Sane
Wtf is 'anti-Bowie'? The very idea of that is opposed to what Bowie was about as much as anything. It means there must be a typical Bowie sound/style/album. I agree it was 'brave', but it was really Bowie being Bowie- writing and recording what was in his head and he felt needed to create.
The final shot of the clip is soooooo cool and apocalyptic, very futuristic for its time. I love it! Bowie was and will always be the outstanding master of music.
Absolutely true with robert fripp.
On guitar. And Brian eno.
Berlin trilogy. Boys on that album.
With the ending guitar solo fripp.
Out of this world. Amazing
How it got on the radio .ALSO
SCARRY MONSTERS. TOO.
WAS BIZARRE FOR RADIO.
BUT HE DEFINITELY WAS
THE THIN WHITE DUKE
THROWING DARTS IN
LOVERS EYES.
can you explain yourself on this being apocalyptic, he's just pulling down curtains and wearing a gas mask. I was pretty sure he was just fucking about.
@andreitarkovsky3214 I suggest dissecting the lyrics on "Lodger" the entire album is a critique on modern civilization/culture, perhaps his most political album outside of Diamond Dogs. Theirs several refrences to war throughout the record and the gas mask could be a representative of that.
Bowie is the best DJ⚡️
Well he was David Jones, after all.
He ain't no damn DJ he's a proper musician!
I think its possible that this is the most underrated bowie album
Whenever people talk about their favorite bowie albums this one is never brought up and I dont really understand why.
Not sure honestly, I dont think its underrated but more overshadowed, since it's in the Berlin trilogy it has to compete with giant bowie albums like Low and Heroes, but still, loger is just as good as heroes and low and honestly I think that loger is better than heroes as a whole!
I had this album on cassette and I’d played this all the time walking down the street with my boom box everywhere .....
This is my fav Bowie album. For songs like Move On and Red Sails. And this.
I regularly have it in my top half of Bowie's albums. It's certainly among his best lyrically as well as very musically adventurous. There's fantastic musicians on the album, but that was long a staple of Bowie's albums. You could count on great musicianship w/o it always sounding like they were, as Bowie's ideas for guitar sounds esp. was very outre and adventurous.
What a handsome devil
Michael4eva Мιсhаеl Jаcksοη Handsome Angel too. ♡☆♡
Exactly
Thank you.
He got better looking with age.
@@doctorthirteen5727 he always has been gorgeous tho
I envy the people who got to smooch him!
SAMMMMMEEEEEE
:’)
@@Jimmybarashkov of course
Me too.. 🤣
It doesn't look like it was a set-up
I'm enjoying these re-uploadings so freaking much. Bless you
Berni Princi, think it might mean something? He did have more releases planned after he died, didn't he?
wolf guy don't quote me on this, but if I'm correct, I believe he had several demos ready for one more album after blackstar.
Oooh that's where that chorus is from. I remember hearing it as a kid and it was stuck in my head ever since. I never thought it was David Bowie 😂
Lodger is one of Bowie’s most underrated albums
My second favorite Bowie album, topped only by Scary Monsters>
He gave his vocals a touch of David Byrne for this one!
One of my favorite videos of his.
ANYTHING BOWIE DOES, I LOVE!
My favourite part is when he goes down the blinds 😂
Director: what are you-
David: THIS IS SO FUN OMG
And dances with the lady afterwards
The smashing mirror video effect is fantastic and original at the time for its use...plus love the pink jumpsuit and cheesy all in one dj console with the cheap decks.
Willy Brown modern classics jumpsuit
Punker than punk itself
3:47 I love this part so much and I don't even know why
I’d forgotten about this song; haven’t heard it in decades. It’s good to hear it again; quintessential Bowie!
Totally agree .... I play YT Bowie songs as a one man band simply to feel connected ... GREAT KARMA.
To be fair David Bowie all our hearts broke when you left 💔
He often broke my heart when he was alive
One of his best under rated songs evar! The year I graduated HS. 79 was just like this!
did you become a d.j.?
While I were watching it, I started to cry. He is adorable, majestic and amazing, and I love him. I wish he could see it, but he couldn't, and this is a reason why I'm crying so damn hard. I love you, David!
Totally agree .... I play YT Bowie songs as a one man band simply to feel connected ... GREAT KARMA.
One of my favorite Bowie. I'm home, lost my job! 👍
And incurably ill.
~and incurably ill~
Imagine if in every song David just started throwing shit and explosions happened
achei q era o unico br aqui
Wait, are you telling me that's not what happens in every song? 😐
yeah there that one guy in Morioh
ProfessorComs And kissing strangers
This is every song now. Like, when he points at the camera in Starman... boom....
"Kiss-Kiss" Killing me😂 I miss you David...
I'm home, lost my job, and incurably I'll
You think this is easy, realism
I've got a girl out there, I suppose
I think she's dancing
Feel like Dan Dare lies down
I think she's dancing, what do I know?
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around no, can't turn around, no, oh, ooh
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around no, can't turn around, no, oh no
I am a D.J., I am what I play

One more, weekend, of lights and evening faces
Fast food, living nostalgia
Humble pie or bitter fruit

Can turn around no
Time flies when you're having fun
Break his heart, break her heart

Listening in 2021? You have great taste. Bowie's genius is forever.
Totally agree .... I play YT Bowie songs as a one man band simply to feel connected ... GREAT KARMA.
Bowie❤❤❤
0:45 - 1:35 god he looks so cool and attractive here.
You mean you like swishy gay dudes in pink jump suits?
@Thracian tell me who doesn't, this video is proof
I was a child of @9 when this album was released, and I remember there was a commercial promoting it showing part of this video. I couldn't get enough of it...loved when it came on. That pink jumpsuit was everything to me. A man wearing something like that...his androgynous look was fascinating to me. We didn't have any music in our conservative suburban NY home like David Bowie.
His videos are the stuff of legends
Lodger, maybe the most overlooked Bowie album
Lodger is so amazing
Only David could pull off that little pink jumpsuit! he's so amazing
His David Byrne impression during the first few lines is so good.
This song was stuck in my mind the past MONTH. I've heard it off and on my whole life but for some reason the song really came alive for me lately. I really like the bass and guitar on this one.
Totally agree .... I play YT Bowie songs as a one man band simply to feel connected ... GREAT KARMA.
On Point comment Christine,the guitar and bass are superb!
"Break her heart." I love that sound. Classic Bowie.
I Always thought he sang "i'm home, lost my dog"😂😂
😆
GOD, *SAME*
Me too))))
All Bowie’s work was just perfect.
More like Wabi Sabi- the beauty of imperfection and creating, while not really giving a damn what the hater’s have to say.
This era of Bowie videos were just simply perfection
When punk 'collides' with disco = D.J.
One of his most underrated tracks.
Great song and one of Bowie's best albums
In your opinion!
I adore Lodger!
20 marks have cost 40 years ago
Back when music was truly great and creative
From the amazing & understated Lodger! ★★★
Scary Stardust My fav album. Red sails and move on my 2 fav eccentric bowie tracks
J'avais 10 ans complètement subjuguée par ses chansons. Là une cacophonie entre violons discordants, batterie enragée, voix fabuleuse de David. Quelques années plus tard, j'ai acheté une vidéo cassette avec ce titre...d'un DJ qui "pète une durite " ...beau surdoué polymorphe David avec voix agonisant en finale. Waouh...
My French is terrible, nevertheless I see how beautifully put your comment is. Merci Madame.
@@AroundTheWorldWithEase Hello I ve learnt this wonderful Shakespeare s language thanks to David, The Cure, Leonard Cohen, Phil Collins, Sting, Marc Almond ➕ New wave Groups like Talk Talk then at university. Thanks for your considerate comment from an addicted female to all styles 🎶 except commercial since I was 5. My channel says it all.
All the best to you 😊 🌷 🔊 🕊
David Bowie is still the king
Rip
Today is David Bowie's third anniversary of death. May he live on Mars :(
Adrian Belew kicking ass on guitar.
last night i was having suicidal thoughts, it's crazy how much this video has healed me...
Thank God!
I hope you feel better
Great song❤
Who did the camera work? It’s so good. Mick Rock?
It's said that Bowie took inspiration from David Byrne in this era, especially for this vocal performance.
Sounds like it here
Bowie in the mid-late 70s was so good. Amazing period
I had a 4 hour radio show when I was in college...2-6am on Wednesdays. I played this one a TON!
Love you for ever,mr Jones ❤
The whole Lodger album is nuts. Practically wore it out in the turntable back in the day.
This track just gets better with age. Amazing. Wouldn't feel out of place on Scary Monsters.
The way he phrases the firsts sentences of this song is sooo David Byrne's style...
Of course I love this song, but I just have to say: *THAT HAIR!* He had such gorgeous hair.
Believe me or not.. But he visited me in a dream last night. It was amazing. We were acting in a play onstage and I was backstage when he came offstage and was changing clothes and then said to me how he knew how much I loved him since I was young and proceeded to pull all these pictures and papers I had sent him and you could hear them crunch in his hands cuz they're so old and I said I can't believe you kept them.. And he put his forehead on mine and whispered "it's miraculous" and then kissed me.. Then I woke up and was pissed! I wanted to stay there forever! It's like he really visited me and knew how I've loved him since 5th grade, I'm 52 now. And I heard his voice so clearly. I know some will make fun of me & say I'm crazy but I know a dream from a visitation. That was real & he was real and I am grateful & thankful he gave me a moment of his eternal time to tell me he thinks my love and dedication to him is "miraculous". I think he is too ❤❤❤
Your dream is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.
What a HARD working young man! No wonder he made it big
Always liked this song..but didnt really appreciate how great it really is..from that lead guitar to the bass..superb song💯
Love the elements of David Byrne's vocal stylings he brought in on this track. Aw hoooo-aa 🎶🎶🎶
The trenchcoat, the purple gloves...
Bowie could've played The Joker.
He looks extremely attractive in that pink outfit. I don't think any other dude can pull it off like he did.
Already did the Clown thing in Ashes to Ashes. So yeah I think he would have made it work and then some.
*Should've.
This video will always be my argument. He was the perfect choice.
@@Lundy.Fastnet.Irish_Sea
I'm sure any man can wear that outfit. Also, it's salmon, not pink.
@@JoseGomez-ys3zs any man can wear it, but not everyone can pull it off. You need a certain kind of confidence and attitude to wear something like that and still look hot.
I have always liked this music video a lot, because Bowie looks really very happy
I would've killed to be that crowd with HIM!!!!
I'm a DJ and avid Vinyl Records Dealer & collector...This song is my anthem!!!
RIP to D.B 🎷🎛🎚🎸
That man had style ...
David Bowie was a true musical genius and one of the towering giants of rock history. DJ is perhaps his most underrated and underplayed song. It's brilliant and captures all the emptiness and desperation of club life, particularly in the part that begins "time flies when your having fun."
I freaking love David Bowie ❤️
Totally agree .... I play YT Bowie songs as a one man band simply to feel connected ... GREAT KARMA.
At 3:05 his classic signature move he made in portraying many of his songs.
it is hard to pick a favorite tune when it comes to Bowie ...to day it was DJ and look back in anger
this song proves David Bowie is the God of Rock. I wish that I couldve been in that street crowd but alas I was only 3 when this video was made
What a great scene that must've been. And the camera work is fantastic. MTV didn't even exist yet! He just did it for the art.
Un carisma unico...grande Bowie...love..
I'm a DJ I am what I play
Great song, great album 👌👍
If I didn't know better, I could easily be convinced this is a Talking Heads song. That's impressive.
DJ- David Jones
Have loved this song since it came out, I guess because "I am a DJ, I am what I play". Bowie = genius.
Bowie’s vocal delivery and third world ambience of Lodger album are obviously indebted to NY new wave scene especially Talking Heads and Devo who were most likely introduced by Eno.
No wonder he brought back Fripp to pursue more abrasive and confrontational direction that basically pick up where Heroes album left off with Scary Monsters.
Love Lodger my favorite of the Berlin trilogy
A straight up JAMMY-JAM, David !! 🕺 ⏺ 🤘 😃 R.I.P. 🕊
I dedicate to all those who have been behind the decks!Mr Bowie was a very forsighted man.WE ARE WHAT WE PLAY!
I'm in love with 1:22 😍
This is how I met bowie he was with his entourage and they came into a club I was at I love you always MR DAVID BOWIE see ya at the turn of the century
no way!!! where????
Yesss! I am a dj,I am what I play....rock on Bowie! ❤️♥️♥️
Beautiful David.
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Bowie's music. It's a similar sound
Yes he is
